Get a Teslong Bore Scope and it will surprise you about your cleaning but you will be able to see if it’s really clean or not. Used to look down the bore and see a bright clean barrel, bought a Teslong Bore Scope and was really surprised about the clean, bright shiny barrel that was still not clean.
I was real happy with a lot of my guns, then I bought a damned Teslong scope.
The only time I run a patch down a bore now is to get moisture out or shove the spiders out.
